The area of maritime transportation optimization has recently begun to achieve increasing
success at solving large scale models, and industry is steadily adopting operations research …

Recent advances in simulation optimization research and explosive growth in computing
power have made it possible to optimize complex stochastic systems that are otherwise …

We review research on ship routing and scheduling and related problems during the new
millennium and provide four basic models in this domain. The volume of research in this …

The overall electricity consumption, treated as a primary guideline for electricity system
planning, is a major measurement to indicate the degree of a nation's development. The …

This study aims to determine the optimal vessel speed and ship fleet size for an industrial
ship** service operating through the emission control areas (ECAs). To comply with the …

This paper presents a literature survey on the fleet size and mix problem in maritime
transportation. Fluctuations in the ship** market and frequent mismatches between fleet …

This paper mainly evaluates the previously published fleet planning researches which
primarily utilize operations research and computational intelligence based techniques. An …

In a hinterland barge transport system, barges are usually not self-propelled and need to be
towed or pushed by tugs. This study investigates a tug-scheduling problem at a seaport that …

This paper addresses the container ship routing problem in inland waterway liner
transportation. Given estimated weekly full container ship** demands between port pairs …

The paper presents the first complete survey of scheduling problems with the late work
criteria. Late work objective functions estimate the quality of a schedule based on durations …
